Karen ,
OK, $60/lb sounds like a lot ... but you're talking about DRIED chiles.
it takes 8 -10 pounds of fresh chiles, to make ONE pound dried chiles !
( if i recall correctly)
applying the math, to the ridiculously OverPriced produce at GI Market,
one might expect to pay around $200 / pound for their peppers (dried)
assuming zero costs for the drying process.
anyhow, the point was/is ... don't encourage those retailers (who are
jumping on the growing interest in chiles) that simply "gouge" the buyer
with exorbitant prices on questionable/marginal product.
be an informed shopper, educate your retailer, & Demand the Best !
Reward the folks that provide you with Quality & Service , by
patronizing their business enterprise, and referring new customers.
better for you ... better for CH's in the long run ...
( Sorry Karen ... Not meant to be a lecture or chastisement ... just
a suggestion for shoppers in general )
regards
